Seed Sowing Day

Hello everyone. Here it is not such a good day as far as the weatheris concerned but that's okay as its seed sowing day and I would havebeen working indoors anyway. Tomorrow I'm hoping for better for mywalk though as the places I'm going are pretty exposed. Right - whatseeds am I sowing then? Well I will tell you there are several lots ofPetunia's, some trailing Lobelia, Impatiens, Sweet Peppers, and a funthing I want to try and grow called an Echium. Well best go riddlesome compost now. By the way its always a good idea to buy a goodquality compost for seed sowing also protect from slugs even if youthink you don't have any because they can come in the night and takeall the seedlings as they come up and you'll end up blaming the seedcompany for bad seed or something. I usually just put a small piece ofglass over the pot or slip it into a freezer bag. I'll take a picturelater to show you what I mean.
